Serpentine Gallery

Serpentine Gallery Review

Built in 1934 as a tea pavilion in Kensington Gardens, the Serpentine has an international reputation for exhibitions of modern and contemporary art. Man Ray, Henry Moore, Andy Warhol, Bridget Riley, Damien Hirst, and Rachel Whiteread are a few of the artists who have had exhibits here. An extension to the gallery is scheduled to open in the fall of 2013. The annual Summer Pavilion, a striking temporary structure designed by a different leading architect every year, is always worth catching.
